@muted mesa 97 of which product?

@rocky reef pretty neat actually. Iโ€™m pretty impressed by their design and implementation. Itโ€™s perfect for what consumers are into now. Sharing your day to day life, capturing moments, sharing with others, and all of it just sitting on your face. Itโ€™s what I expected the Google Glass to be, but that didnโ€™t quite work out. At least not for now and in the consumer space anyway.

I lost the ac plug for some desktop speakers. Is there a better process than trial and error for finding/selecting a replacement? Does adafruit have anything that could help?

#

I'm learning how to setup an old linux box as a router. I'm wondering how to test it. Not limited to just bandwidth testing; I'm wanting to validate Think "acceptance testing". Is there a "de facto" testing process suite?

paper peak
#

@meager fiber, you mean the AC adapter? Usually where the AC adapter plugs in there's a notation saying how many volts and whether it's center positive or negative.

meager fiber
#

right, that part I'm familiar with, but are there different shapes/forms/lengths/etc?

paper peak
#

the plug is usually 2.1mm standard these days. So you just have to pick one with the right voltage, polarity, and current rating. If you have some other AC adapters you can try for the right fit (with power off!) and then measure the diameter with calipers. Then just search for a wall wart with the right specs.

fiery coyote
#

Great show Limor and Phil

I won the metro and it come with circuit python 2.2 will I be able to update it once version 3 comes out

@fiery coyote Great! You can try the alpha version of 3.0 now.

rapid hornet
#

@fiery coyote What retro gaming are you interested in? I've got a circuitpython gameboy cartridge design on order from oshpark

meager fiber
#

They're Dell speakers, and if they're designed anything like the rest of the products, they picked something strange, and hard to find. I was hoping (a longshot) that there would be some kind of procedure to follow or index I could lookup or something besides guessing or trial and error.

fiery coyote
#

Can a alpha version of python brick my board

rapid hornet

rapid hornet
#

nice! I want to do an NES cartridge too

fiery coyote
#

Are you the lead developer of circuit python

rapid hornet
#

yup!

#

@clear matrix and @paper peak work on it too

paper peak
#

@meager fiber do you have a model or part number for the speakers?

fiery coyote
#

What happens if i brick my board

paper peak
#

you won't brick it. The bootloader is protected - that's the only thing that might get hurt by errant code, but the protection will prevent that. You can always reload it again with the bootloader

odd stream
#

@fiery coyote Congrats! It's a sweet board. The SAMD51 is a great chip.

#

#

So is this a big upgrade for the uno I got off of eBay

odd stream
#

The SAMD21 is amazing if you're used to 328s... like I was when I switched to Feathers.

meager fiber
#

I don't have it handy, but I could try doing a search for a replacement based on the PN. I was just hoping I wouldn't have to get the specific part and could just find an appropriate adapter (one that fits).

odd stream
#

@fiery coyote Oh yeah. I went from UNO/ProMini to Feather & Trinket M0s

paper peak
#

@meager fiber what is printed on the back at the power connection?

lavish patrol

I must depart. My pillow and blankets beckon...

meager fiber
#

I don't have the speakers handy atm.

fiery coyote
#

Is it possible to run ardrino and python boot loaders at the same time

paper peak
#

It will be like 12V 500ma with a little picture of a C-shaped thing and + and -. That's probably all the info you need. I've had a number of Dell speakers and they usually use standard power plugs. But the voltages for these things are all over the place.

fiery coyote
#

Or can you only have one at a time

paper peak
#

The bootloader is permanent. It loads whatever program you want to run. Sometimes that's an Arduino program, or it could be CircuitPython, which is a very big program, but is a program like any other that's loaded via the bootloader.

fiery coyote
#

Is circuit python a dumbed down version of the python c code

paper peak
#

no, it's smartened up ๐Ÿ˜ƒ

meager fiber
#

@paper peak Well, that's good news. I'll take a look later. The electrical part is easy. I was just hoping there was a similarly easy way to determine the right physical characteristics,but maybe I'll get lucky and it'll be standard.

#

cheers

fiery coyote
#

So what ever I can do in a computer python code I can run that on my board

paper peak
#

seriously, the basic language is very close to Python 3.4, with a few features omitted. It doesn't include most of the big library (lots of extra modules) that comes with regular Python. Instead we provide libraries that control the pins on the board, control peripherals, etc.

#

@meager fiber if you have other AC adapters you can see if they fit and measure them. But Dell has a lot of specs for products on their website. Once you have the model number, I think you will have everything you need.

woven stirrup
#

@fiery coyote a way to think of it: you can do Python things, but you can't do PC things.

Btw, I saw the previous discussion of xacto knives. I remixed an xacto knife stand that is tweakable via the customizer app on Thingiverse: https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:2253390

This is my remix of lardcanoe's X-Acto Knife Holder tweaked for my X-Acto Gripster knife which has a very ill fitting (and thus unsafe) cap. I've removed nearly all hard coded numbers to make it usable with the customizer app making it tweakable...

@haughty quiver Based on a comment on this design, I tried pausing the print and addind sand to give it more weight. and it worked quite nicely.

@haughty quiver Cool

#

My exacto blade had a cap that wouldn't stay on, which I felt was dangerous. I got tired of using a big rubber band to keep it on and went looking for 3D printable replacement and found the original of that. I thought that a stand would be even more convenient as you could grab the knife with only one hand, so I tweaked the design and made it work with the customizer to make it more useful for others.

@eager sapphire (and everyone) from one of the blog posts:

CRICKIT has everything makers want/need for their creative mechatronics or robotics project:
4 x standard servos (mini or large)
4 x high current ULN2003 โ€˜Darlingtonโ€™ drive transistors with kickback diodes, great for relays, solenoids, large LEDs, single motors. can also drive a uni-polar stepper
8 x analog&digital digital I/O for connecting various sensors, buttons, LEDs etc. We have female socket headers so its easy to plug in jumpers & wires. matching power and ground pins on each
2 x bi-directional DC motor drivers (DRV8833) with PWM support and overcurrent limited to 1 Amp max each. can also be used to drive a bi-polar stepper
4 x capacitive touch pads
1 x Neopixel output with level shifter on output so its 5V logic
1 x mono class D speaker amp with volume adjust potentiometer
1 x 5V @ 4A DC power input with on/off switch. Power input protection, will automatically turn off when input voltage is about 5.5V โ€“ so no risk to smashing your board if you grab a 9V adapter by accident!

It's a polyhedral pentagon.

I can't see the world from where I am, so obviously it simply doesn't exist.

because you cant look so much in the distance to see much curve as earth is so huge compare to human

@covert root It's generally poor form to show up in a discord and just post a link to your own discord. It's also polite to at least explain what the discord you are promoting is intended for and why it's relevant. I'd also say that any sort of link should be placed inside #general-chat or, maybe, #general-tech

#

i did not just show up. i have been here for a few months @river peak

You weren't part of the conversation previously, so you just... "Showed up" and posted the link.

Good show! Liked the glue test segment.

thank you! I make CA glue fail so you don't have to.

inner spade
#

I'll try the gel type. Have had good luck with it with certain porous materials.

haughty quiver
#

good idea, let us know

inner spade
#

Gorilla Super Glue GEL worked great.

#

Also testing PICP (polyisocyanate prepolymer), the foaming stuff that's also sold as Original Gorilla Glue, but it'll take longer to set. PICP was our go-to for foam-to-foam and might be useful for foam-to-cardboard or wood, stone, metal, ceramic, and glass -to-cardboard.

Oh good! I'll try gel.

@Gary Kester#1319 This was from @haughty quiver 's live workshop show earlier today. He tested quite a few glue/tape/attachment techniques for attaching cardboard-to-cardboard-to-whatever. I provided some glue and cement options to add to his list. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wt7Wkb6tmVE
